NEW YORK, A. CORPORATION OF NEW YORK COMPUTING MACHINE Application filed September 18, 1930. Serial No. 482,744.

Our invention relates to computing machines and more particularly to automatically operating means for aligning the totalizer wheels and removing any spiraling that may occur therein.

The main object of our invention, generally stated, is to provide simple, inexpensive, and effective means of the character specified.

A further object of our invention is to provide means of the character referred to which are embodied in and carried by the traveling and detachable totalizers of a computing machine, or a combined typewriting and comuting machine.

A still further object of our invention is to provide simple and effective means of the character specified which may be readily embodied in existing machines without modifying, or materially modifying, the existing structural features of said machine.

To the above and other ends which will hereinafter appear our invention consists in the features of construction, arrangements of parts and combinations of devices set forth I in the following description and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference characters designate corresponding parts in the different views W Fig. 1 is an enlarged, detail, fragmentary,-

We have shown our invention in the present instance embodied in a No. 23 Remington accounting machine in which the devices of the present invention may be readily incorporated without modifying, or materially modifying, the structural features of saidmachines as they now exist. It should be understood however that the invention is not restricted to embodiment in such machines but may be embodied in accounting and combined typewriting and accounting machines generally, wherever found available.

So much of the #23 Remington accounting machine as is disclosed in the present instance is similar to that shown in the patent to Wahl 1,270,471, dated June 25, 1918.

In the accompanying drawings the usual supporting bar 1 is connected to the typewriter carriage to travel therewith in the so-called vertical totalizers,-only one of which is shown, that being designated as a-.whole by the reference numeral 2. Each totalizer comprises two parallel side plates 3 united by suitable cross bars and provided with bearings for various shafts and spindles 4:, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 for various of the totaliz'er'wheels control levers, etc., as will hereinafter more clearly appear. The shaft 9 has a pair of hook-like locking latches 10 and '11 fixed thereto (see Fig. 1) and adapted to e'ngage over a dove tail portion 12 of the carrying bar to detachably hold the companion'totalizer on said bar. An arm 13 extends from the latch 11 and terminates outside of the totalizer in a finger piece 14 by which the latches may be released.

The latch 11 also is provided with a locking dog 15 adapted to enter into interdental spaces between teeth 16 of a rack bar 17 secured to the supporting bar 1 and thus prevent a displacement of the companion totalizer along said bar. The spaces between the teeth of the rack are at letter space intervals corresponding to the letter space movement of the typewriter carriage and the carrying bar 1 connected therewith. Each of the side plates 3 of each totalizer is provided with a hoolelilre engaging member 13 adapted to engage under the dove tail portion 19 of the supporting bar 1 to further secure the totalizer in place on said supporting bari A contractile returning spring 20 is connected at one end to a member 21 supported on the.

spindle or pivot rod 8, whereas the opposite end of said spring is connected to a pin 22 on the inner side of the latch arm 11. The force of the spring 20 is exerted to hold the latch members 10 and 11 in the engaging position as shown in Fig. 1. When the linger piece 14 is depressed, the latches are released and the totalizer may be detached or adjusted along the supporting bar 1.

We avail ourselves of the latching means just described and certain of the parts controlled thereby for controlling the aligning means of our present invention, as will hereinafter clearly appear.

Each vertical totalizer in addition to the parts mentioned above includes a series of number wheels 2.3 mounted to turn on the spindle or shaft 4 and adapted to expose the numbers 24 thereon through a sight opening 25 in the cover or housing 26 of the totalizer. Each number wheel 23 has a toothed gear 27 fixed thereto which meshes with a companion intermediate toothed gear 23 loosely mounted on the shaft 5. Each intermediate gear 23 in turn meshes with a toothed carrying wheel 29 loosely mounted on the shaft or spindle 6.

In addition to the foregoing construction there is contained in each totalizer 2 the usual transfer mechanism for transferring the tens from one denomination to another and embodying the locked Geneva gear train comprising the Geneva. star wheels 30 and 30 pinions 31 on opposite sides of and fixed to each of them, cooperative Geneva members 32 one fixed on a side of each of the carrying wheels 29 except that for the highest order and having depressions 33 in the periphery thereof. and three wide carrying teeth 34 on each of the carrying Wheels 29 except that for the highest order and which coact with a companion gear 31 on one side of the associated Geneva wheel 30, all as indicated in Fig. 1.

It is not deemed necessary to further describe this usual transfer mechanism except to point out that the Geneva wheels 30 and 30 are arranged in two rows or series and that each of the wheels 30, and its attached gears 31, is carried by and pivoted to turn on a shiftable lever 35 or 36, sometimes called the stop rocker arms. The levers 35 are all pivoted in alignment to turn on the spindle or pivot rod 8, whereas the levers 36 are all pivoted in alignment on the spindle or pivot rod 7. Each of the Geneva wheels 30 of one series is pivoted at 37 on a lever 35, whereas each of the Geneva wheels 35 of the other series is pivoted at 38 on a lever 36. A pivotal movement of any of the levers 35 and 36 from normal position is effective to disengage the wheels 30 and 31 carried thereby from the associated wheels or members with which they coact, as shown in Fig. 2.

.The means by which such pivotal movement is transmitted to each of the levers 35 and 36 will now be described. as well as the effect thereof on the locking bar or so-called safety bar to be hereinafter described.

The lower ends of the levers 35 and 36 are arranged in transverse alignment at letter space intervals and each of them is bifurcated at 39 to receive a master dog 40 controlled from the actuating mechanism for vibration fore and aft of the machine, as will presently appear. The letter space movements of the carriage, and the totalizer 2 connected therewith, advances the lower ends of the levers 35 and 36 successively into cooperative relation with the master dog 40 as the totalizer is carried through the computing zone. An operation of the actuation mechanism at any of these intervals will result in operating the. lever 35 or 36 in 000p erative relation with the master dog, as shown in Fig. 2. This willresult not only in disengaging the wheels of the transfer mechanism, as previously pointed out but in actuating the safety bar to move it to locking position where it will coact with the remainder of the levers 35 and 36 and prevent a movement thereof from normal position. Thus, the locking bar 41 is pivoted at its ends, as at 42, to the side plates 3 of the totalizer for swinging movement from the ineffective Fig. 1 position, to the eifective Fig. 2 position. The bar 41 extends throughout the width of the totalizer above the upper forwardly projecting ends of the levers 35 and 36, each of which is provided with an engaging portion 43 and a contact or cam 44. When the locking bar 42 is shifted to the locking position. indicated in Fig. 2, the engaging edge of the bar will overlie all of the engaging portions 43 of the levers 35 and 36. except the one that has been actuated, and prevent an operation thereof. The movement of the locking bar 41 from the ineffective to the effective position is brought about by the contact 44 on the actuated lever 35 or 36 engaging said bar and swinging it to the Fig. 2 position.

When the actuated lever 35 or 36 is released for return movement to normal position under control of its spring 46 or 47 respectively, the locking bar 41 will be returned to nor I mal position by an independent sprln 48.

Referring particularly to Fig. 8 it wil be seen that one end of the spring 48 is anchored on a bar 49, Whereas the opposite end of said spring is connected to a pin 50 carried by an arm 51 pivoted to turn freely on the spindle or pivot rod 7 and preferably is-located about midway in the length thereof, as indicated in Fig. 5. The free end portion 52 of this arm (see Fig. 8) eontactively engages the upper side of a lug 53 riveted at 54 to the locking bar 41 and normally maintains said locking bar in the Figs. 1 and 8 position; the terminal portion of the arm 52 working in a cut-out or slot 55 in the locking bar. The arm 51 usually carries a wedge shaped tooth 56 that coacts with the teeth of one of the middle carrying Wheels 29 to align it at each actuation of the arm 51.

So much of the mechanism as has been thus far described constitutes part of the well known Remington accounting machine, as does the actuating mechanism, a description of which is to follow. We have availed ourselves of this mechanism in the present instance to actuate and control the aligning means of the present invention, which we will now describe.

On the left-hand end of the shaft or spindle 6 there is mounted to turn freely a controlling lever 57 of the first order. The rear end of this lever is provided with an opening 58 greater than a semi-circular portion of a disklike end 59 of a link 60 that is seated in said opening. The upper end of this link is pivoted at 61 to one end of the locking bar 41 and is received in a cut-out in an end of the bar. The forward end of the lever 57 is pivoted at 62 toan aligning member or bar 63 and constitutes a support for the bar at one end thereof. The opposite end of the aligning bar is shaped as represented in Figs. 3 and 6. From these figures it will be seen that the right-hand end of the aligning bar is reduced in height to provide a shoulder 64 that is adapted to bear against the inner face of the right-hand side plate 3 of the totalizer, whereas the reduced end 65 of the bar is received in a bearing opening 66 in the said side plate so that the bar may receive a pivotal movement therein from the full to the dotted line position shown in Fig. 3 and vice versa. The shape of the bearing'opening 66 corresponds to the shape of the reduced end 65 of the bar, so that the parallel side walls of the opening will permit the said pivotalmovement of the bar but will prevent it from turning on its longitudinal axis, thus maintaining the aligning bar with its upper rounded edge uppermost in a position to engage between the teeth of the intermediate gears 29, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, to align them. The bar 63 is prevented from moving axially in one direction by the shoulder 64 hearing against the associated side plate 3, whereas said bar is revented from axialmovement in the opposlte direction by the lever 57 which coacts therewith. From an inspection of Fig. 3 it will be understood that the bar 63 1s preferably so shaped that the upper aligning edge thereof will never coactwith say, the two right-hand wheels 28 of the lowest orders but in its movement from the dotted to the full-line position in Fig. 3 will be brought successively into engagement with the remainder of'said wheels 28, beginning with the lower order wheel and ending with the higher order wheel to align them progressively from right to left. It will be understood that ordinarily there is little or no spiraling in the lowest order wheels, such spiraling when it does occur being progressively greater as the highest order wheel is approached. For this reason, and for the additional reason that the machine as usually constructed is provided with the aligning device 56 hereinbefore described, and also is provided with means for automatically aligning the lowest order wheel, as will presently appear, there is no necessity of the bar 63 coacting with the two lowest order wheels. The mam advantages of our present construction is in automatically aligning the highest order wheels wherethe spiraling is greatest, and especially in comparatively wide totalizers of from, say, ten or more wheels capacity. This spiraling in the highest order wheels if permitted to remain is apt to result in injury to the machine, for reasons which will hereinafter more clearly appear.

From what has been said it will be understood that each operation of the usual key controlled actuating mechanism will result in operating the master dog 40, which in turn will move the particular lever 35 and 36 with which the master dog is in cooperative relation at the instant, as indicated in Fig. 2. It follows that this movement will be transmitted to the locking bar 41 and from said bar through the link 60 and lever 57 to the aligning bar 63, moving the latter from the normal, engaged, position shown in full lines in Fig. 3, to the released, dotted line position shown in said figure. This operation takes place before the master wheel 67 is actuated to turn the particular carrying wheel 29 which, at the time, is in mesh therewith and before any of the wheels controlled by the carrying wheel in question can be actuated, as will presently more fully appear. When the actuated lever 35 or 36 is free to return to normal position, the locking bar 63 will be returned to effective position by the spring 48 (Fig. 8), thereby moving the aligning bar 63 to the effective, full line, position shown in Fig. 3, thereby aligning all of the wheels 28 controlled by the aligning bar and all of the other wheels controlled by the wheels 28. The effect of this is to normally hold and maintain substantially all of the We will now refer to the usual key controlled actuating means, suflicient only of which is shown to arrive at an understanding of our present invention.

Each numeral key of the machine 1s connected through a link 68 with a so-called fan 69 that turns freely on a fixed shaft 70 carried by the frame of the actuator. Each fan '69 in addition to full stroke mechanism, which need not be described, has associated therewith a gooseneck 71 that turns on the shaft 70 and is arranged beside its companion fan 69. Each fan receives a preliminary movement independently of the associated gooseneck, due to the pin and slot connection 69, 69 between them. Each fan 69 has a cam 72 that coacts with a universal bar 7 3 carried by arms 7 4 fixed to a universal shaft 75. Said shaft 75 carries an arm 76 to which one end of a link 77 is pivoted, the opposite end of said link being operatively connected to a master cam 78 that controls the master dog 40 to move it from the Fig. 1 to the Fig. 2 position and vice versa, as hereinbefore described. When such movement takes place, a rearward extension or truck lock 79 on the master dog engages between the teeth of a rack 80 fixed on the supporting bar 1, as shown in Fig. 2, and locks the carriage against movement.

This same movement of the universal shaft 7 5 is effective to withdraw a master pawl 81 (see Fig. 1) from engagement with the teeth of the master wheel 67, and by which the master wheel is properly aligned and normally held against rotation. The master pawl 81 is carried by or forms part of a master cam plate 82 pivoted at 83 on the actuatorfram'e and provided with a cam slot 84 therein. A pin 85 is carried by an arm 86 fixed on the universal shaft 75. Said pin eoacts with the cam 84 to withdraw pawl 81 from engagement with the teeth of the master wheel 67 against the force of a spring 87 by which the master pawl 81 is forced into engagement with and aligns the master wheel. These movements take place and are completed at the first part of the down stroke of the key and before the upper wall of the slot 69 reaches the companion pin 69 and actuates the associated gooseneck 71.

Fig. 2 represents the position of the parts when the last mentioned actuation has taken place and before the companion gooseneck has started to actuate the master wheel. 67',

as will presently more clearly appear. It will be seen that at this time the aligning bar 63 of the totalizer in the computing zone has been moved out of engagement with the intermediate wheels 28 and is heldfree from such engagement, so as not to interfere with the movement of any of such wheels during the turning of the master wheel.

As a continued depression of the actuated key takes place the associated gooseneck will be moved, and through the cam 88 thereon operating on a pin 89 carried by arms 90 on a sector shaft 91, will rock said shaft an ex tent determined by the V articular key depressed. The sector sha 91 carries a toothed sector 92 which is engageable with a pinion 93 operatively connected with the master wheel 67 to turn the latter.

During this period the master dog 40 and the aligning bar 63 remain in the position shown in Fig. 2 due to the fact that the dwell 72 on the actuated cam 72 coacts with the universal bar 73. When, however, the cam 72 has passed the universal bar at about the completion of the movement of the master wheel, the universal bar will be freed from control of the cam and the master dog and aligning bar 63 will return to the normal position, shown in Fig. 1, where said aligning bar will engage the wheels 28 and align all of the wheels in the totalizer, or all of those controlled by the aligning bar .63.

From an inspection of Fig. 8 it will be seen that the usual fixed aligning cam or member 94 is secured at 95 to the actuator frame 96 and is located adjacent to the master wheel 67 at the right-hand side thereof, or behind the master wheel as the parts appear in Fig. 8. The purpose of this member 94 is to antomatically align wheels 29 in each totalizer 2 as the latter is traveling with the carriage from right to left to and past the master wheel, thereby preventing injury to teeth of the wheels 29 and the master wheel. This ordinarily will correct slight lack of proper alignment of the wheels 29 especially in totalizers having a smaller capacity. However, as the wheels of the highest order have the greatest amount of spiraling, when spiraling exists, and these highest order wheels are the first to meet the member 94: in the movement of the carriage from right to left, the teeth of the wheels 29 are, ordinarily, at times apt to be injured or broken by said member 94. This is especially true when totalizers of considerable capacity are employed, say totalizers having ten or more wheels and the spiraling up to the extent of half the width of a tooth is involved in the wheels 29 of the highest order. It will be understood that by our invention this difficulty is overcome as the wheels in each totalizer are always maintained in alignment by the aligning bar 63 until the wheels 29 of the highest order have passed the fixed lll the wheels and is only released ali ing member 94 and the associated totalizer, in movin from right to left, has actually entered t e com uting zone and an operation of the actuator has taken place. It is not until an 0 eration of the actuator has taken place un er the conditions specified that the aligning bar 63 is released, and then only in the particular totalizer that is in the computing zone.

It will be understood that an important factor in attaining the above mentioned results is the fact that each aligning bar 63 is carried by its totalizer and normally engages therefrom when the associated totalizer is in the computing zone and an operation of the actuator takes place.

It also will be seen that we have provided very simple yet highly effective means for attaining the results specified and that in embodying the devices of our invention in the Remington accounting machine it is unnecessarv to modify, or materially modify, existin structural features thereof.

hile the anti-spiraling devices of this invention are shown in the present instance applied to the vertical totalizers 2 it will be understood that they are also applicable in a like manner to the cross totalizer disclosed insaid Wahl patent and embodied in said Remington accounting machine.

It will be borne in mind that in said patent and machine the universal shaft disclosed herein is coupled to a corresponding shaftfor the cross totalizer, and that the remaining parts beyond said shaft for the cross totalizer are the same as those disclosed herein.
